So this is April's podcast, a few days early but there you go. This time I'm playing a set of songs from the Maximum Rocknroll compilation CD Public Safety (see www.maximumrocknroll.com), which I picked up a while ago. I thought it'd be fun to play some of my favourite songs from that as well as the usual mix of punk, garage, hardcore and folk. It's Sunday evening and I'm not feeling very wordy right now but I'm pretty stoked on how this episode came out. Let me know what you think. Woo. - Phil ChokewordTrack Listing1. Circus Act - This Life Is Moving Too Fast (From the "This Is Your Destination" CD on the defunct Milliepeed Records - order copies through the Circus Act Myspace)

10. Mark Gunnery - Diving Into The Wreak (From the "Government Is War" CD on Riot Folk)Blah Blah Blah:1. I still don’t know what I’m doing. Sorry. I even bought a book on podcasting. This was put together on my family's PC using Audacity and a USB record player, some over played CDs and 7"s and a cheap Internet microphone. Plus this MP3 is a lower bit rate than most in order to keep it at a manageable size. So if there’s a song on here that you dig and want to buy the record it came off, don't be put off if it sounds kinda rough or scuzzy. I can guarantee it'll sound better in the original format. I hope that makes sense! 2. I either asked the bands (Circus Act, Mark Gunnery) or the record label who put out the record I was playing (Recess, Maximum Rocknroll, Dirtnap, Crypt) if it was OK to podcast their songs and they were cool with it. I think one of the great things about the Internet is that its really easy to get in contact with people whose music you dig and I'd like to take time to thank them for allowing me to play their songs. Cheers! 3. It goes without saying that if you like this podcast, let your friends know about it! Please? Thank you. And get in touch too if you dig it/hate it/have any tips. tensongspodcast [at] googlemail [dot] com How To Listen To The Show:I've uploaded the podcast to Libsyn as part of updating the blog.

So I got a new microphone and a spit guard and everything got really painless. Wow. This is March's podcast and I hope you like it. I thought it might be kinda fun to do something different this time around and get a guest podcaster in to play some stuff that probably hadn't really registered on my musical radar. So I got xHannahx - of Zine For the Ladies/South Coast Vegan Cooking zine etc - in to play a bunch of UK folk punk stuff. Let me know what you think! - Phil ChokewordTrack Listing1.

Ten Songs Podcast is a mix of punk, hardcore, folk and garage songs compiled as a homemade "radio show" that you can download as an MP3, stream from this webpage or subscribe to using i-Tunes. I play songs that I dig and I really hope you like them too. Sometimes I have guests to help me out. Sometimes theres live session sets from bands I like. Thats about it really. This podcast used to be uploaded monthly but I'm in semi-retirement now so there will be new shows when I can be rigged and I have enough great tunes that I want to share.

Meanwhile check out the pages section above for links to some other projects I'm involved in.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out and please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
